3 Biohacks for Instant Disc Golf Gains | How I Went From 500ft to 700ft Pt.2

[@bobbyromberger6735]

I personally enjoy the longer videos. It’s not often you get people really going into depth with stuff like this without having to pay them first.

[@NickKrush.DGandFit]

Happy to hear it! I’m definitely going to keep them coming, lot of fun to for me to get into the details and seeing it help some people out.

[@ransomA.]

The way you explain things really resonates with me, I heard a lot of similar concepts running track in college. And not many people are explaining the sport of disc golf in this way.

[@NickKrush.DGandFit]

It's great to hear that especially from a track athlete like you, thank you for the comment!

[@JejuneJesuit]

Love it, I'm gonna make a point to watch all of your videos. It's really rare to find someone with as much athletics and exercise science background as you talking disc golf form and practice. I honestly hope you don't start making "influencer" type videos because if someone is this far down the distance rabbit hole then they're looking for as much information as possible, not simple entertainment! :) Plus the long throws speak for themselves! Respect

[@NickKrush.DGandFit]

This was a great comment, thank you for the nice words. I really enjoy getting technical about things and it’s been refreshing to see so many folks like you liking the in depth videos! I see no reason for me to stop making them this way + more distance goal progressions in the field :) so stay tuned

[@bethelbarrett5867]

Thank you for dishing out so many down to earth expert principles that so few of us would not even think about asking. This adds the extra details one needs to feel they can approach the game a way a pro would do and who doesn’t like to think that way. After just pulling a hamstring ( 1st time ever in 68 years of age ) I would love to hear your thoughts about injury / re-injury concepts.

[@NickKrush.DGandFit]

@@bethelbarrett5867 you're very welcome, I'm just happy it's able to provide help to people! Sorry to hear about the hammy! Regarding that and recurring injuries - I've had my share over the years; I find the best approach is to have a progressive rehab of building length+strength concurrently within what is safe and healthy for the tissues, then working through a speed-based progressive return to sport.

[@chriskowalski9187]

watching the whole thing. Why is the most important (and interesting to me) part of any how to video. Really enjoying these.

[@NickKrush.DGandFit]

I'm glad to hear that! Thank you for watching and for the support, Chris

[@WonderLoveKileab]

Yes to all of your ideas! Perfect! I'd love injury prevention + how to warm up + how to train and improve

[@johnferrell3998]

Flexibility routine for a follow up. Loved the video man. I got a lot out of it especially about being relaxed when you throw. Thanks 👊

[@NickKrush.DGandFit]

Thank you for the feedback on the video idea! Helps figure out what will fit people’s needs 🤝 and you’re welcome

[@ContentsMayDiffer]

Another great video. I would be very interested to see the videos you were talking about in the beginning. Speaking of visualisation: I used to to a lot of close combat and self-defense training in my pre-disc colf days. I had an ex-military instructor that had the visualisation down to such a level of intensity that you could see the hairs on his body stand up and his puplis dilate when he visualised combat.

[@NickKrush.DGandFit]

Thank you for the support and feedback on the video ideas, noted on that. That's crazy how good your instructor was at immersing himself when visualizing! It reminds me of the Blue Angels' pre-demo visualization where they sit in their desk chairs with closed eyes and go through the entire routine, even down the exact radio vocal tonality and joystick movements.

[@DanTheDiscMan]

Officially subscribed after this video. Going to try getting myself to the point of breaking a sweat before doing field work now and working on the rhythmic timing of the throw

[@NickKrush.DGandFit]

Glad to hear it, I appreciate the support! Best of luck with the field work, I think you'll get some good results.

[@ERICWAGNERSLUCID]

Thank you I do all that (try) but didn’t know exactly why. Now, I can more accurately apply the science! Great video

[@NickKrush.DGandFit]

You're welcome, and thank you for the nice comment as well!

[@keisi1574]

You're exhibiting excellence, Nick. Your content is of the highest quality. I could go on n on about the high level of knowledge n understanding you're sharing...For now, I'll just say- keep up the good work. You'll (continue to)be rewarded.

[@NickKrush.DGandFit]

That's a huge compliment to me, thank you for the kind words. I'll make sure to keep it coming!

[@Winton-fam]

This is great! So many things that arent talked about typically...i think silas schultz is another great example of rhythm..even simon has said he wished he had his rhythm

[@NickKrush.DGandFit]

Thank you! I've seen a few of Silas' throws and it is so poetic and smooth, some of the best form I've ever seen

[@chetgreene6165]

love the content. it would be cool to see you throw some big shots at a local course.

[@NickKrush.DGandFit]

Glad you like it! I'm wanting to get out to the really long pro style course over in Clermont one of these days to do exactly that, so stay tuned.

[@Handshakesnhugz]

Love this dude! Would love to meet you and chat about my disc golf journey. Not many guys are looking at the physics and psychology of playing. Keep it up

[@NickKrush.DGandFit]

That'd be a ton of fun to talk about! Thank you for the support man. I think KZbin is really weird with DM's so I wanted to mention, if you hit me up I will have the best chance of seeing it over email or Instagram 👍

[@OkieTradez]

its killing me not being able to practice ahhhhh why am i getting old! keep the content coming brotha!

[@NickKrush.DGandFit]

I know you'll be back better than before! Every injury helps us learn more about our body and oftentimes rehab can bring up physical deficits. And thank you for the continued support brother! Much appreciated

[@OkieTradez]

what i see with the Tam if you spell it that way is he is almost gliding on his xstep.. i feel like im heavier like im stepping.. how to glide slowly.. hmm..

[@NickKrush.DGandFit]

He definitely glides more than the average, part of it is an individual style for his preference, and part of it is staying light on the feet (center of mass isn't bouncing up and down violently with each approach step).

[@OkieTradez]

yeah im a bouncer... maybe we need to learn how to do tha moon walk hehe@@NickKrush.DGandFit

[@NickKrush.DGandFit]

@@OkieTradez haha no joke the moonwalk could help! I use to practice it all the time for fun You being bouncy is a superpower so definitely still use it to your advantage, while staying smooth and balanced will the be ultimate combo.

[@TheBerryTV]

You come out with any video you feel motivated to make. 10 years down the road itll be pinned on forums as the place to go for beginners who decide they want to take the game seriously.

[@NickKrush.DGandFit]

That's a huge compliment for me :) thanks for the support. I'll keep the vids coming!

[@JZMartinez]

@nick.krush.fitness looking forward to warm up advice. Until then, what about KB swings(35lbs) or clean and press to warm up core, hips, glures, shoulders, arms and grip? Saw a guy using a heavy club swings for shoulder warm up in a parking lot. I don't have a club, but do have a 10lb, 35lb, and 53lb kbs. Maybe 40-50 swing or 15-20 clean and press to get the heart rate up and firing the nervous system? Liked and subbed. 👍🏼

[@NickKrush.DGandFit]

Absolutely, that warmup should get your body temp up, big joints lubricated with synovial fluid, and nervous system primed to generate power so it's checking the boxes from a general standpoint! The pressing action (assuming it's relatively strict/pushed and not a full jerk) can also get a little bit of elasticity into those throwing arm tendons if you do at least 10-20 reps of it. Since you have the different KB weights, you could progress up in weight over 2-3 sets, and then go into the clean and press with a similar progression, mainly to allow the shoulder and upper back some time to progressively recruit muscles and lubricate for extra safety 👍

[@CatchMeOutside361]

Warm up huh? If that’s the case then why do I always suck so bad in the back 9! 🤣🤣🤣

[@NickKrush.DGandFit]

😂the mystery of these darn golf sports, I wish I had a good answer for your question haha

[@onebignonfish]

Keep making the videos bro! One suggestion though would be to really boil down stuff into 10-15 min videos if possible.

[@NickKrush.DGandFit]

Thanks for watching and for the suggestion! I agree, I really gotta find a way to make them shorter. My goal was 15 mins for this and I wasn't even close so hopefully I can keep distilling it down as I get better at elaborating and speaking.

[@onebignonfish]

@@NickKrush.DGandFit yeah its all part of the learning process!

[@NWKastaways]

I would suggest keeping it the same. There are nuances to everyone’s form and something you cut off can be the key for someone out there.

[@NickKrush.DGandFit]

@@NWKastaways that's a good point, hopefully, I can improve my articulation skills/remove fillers in such a way that I can still provide just as much detail while potentially saving 10-20% of deadspace 👍

[@Joah1990]

How long did it take you to reach 500 I just hit 342 yesterday and im 7 months in. I had plateau at 300 for like 2 months. And now i feel like 400 is possible. I couldnt imagine getting 500 but im not going to tell myself ill never get there

[@NickKrush.DGandFit]

340+ a half year in is really good! A lot of people never even get to 350 so you are ahead of the curve. I'm not sure when my first 500ft throw was, I've played extremely sporadically for over a decade and probably had some lucky throws back when I was a teenager in my first couple years playing.

[@Joah1990]

@@NickKrush.DGandFit it may be good. But I'm 33 and need to move things along while I'm still in my prime 😆 I don't know when father time is gonna hit.

[@NickKrush.DGandFit]

@@Joah1990 I hear ya :) suppose we are all trying to get to our prime before the downturn begins. If you’d like to work together on your form I do coaching online for it, you can email me at : [e-mail]
